This document provides a self-test to assess a person's visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (VAK) learning style preferences. It consists of 30 questions where the respondent selects one statement from each line that most reflects their style. The total selections for each column (visual, auditory, kinesthetic/physical) indicate the respondent's relative learning style preference. The results help individuals understand their strengths and how to make best use of learning methods suited to their preferred style or styles. There are no right or wrong answers as some people have strong preferences for one style while others have more balanced preferences across multiple styles.
This PowerPoint show is on one of the basic behavioral principles of our program, Social Skills. I teach a high school class of ED students. These 10 social skills address at least one area that my kids need to practice in order to move back into a least restrictive environment.
I enlisted the help of my students in making this show, by recording each slide. It was fun.
This particular platform, SlideShare, didn't allow my images to upload and I obviously don't have the audio on here, so I removed those.

The Visual-Auditory-Kinaesthetic learning styles model or 'inventory', usually abbreviated to VAK, provides a simple way to explain and understand your own learning style (and learning styles of others).
'Learning style' should be interpreted to mean an individual mixture of styles. Everyone has a mixture of strengths and preferences. No-one has exclusively one single style or preference.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

Learning style self test
1. VAK Indicators and Self-Test
Here is a free VAK learning style indicator, which can be used as a questionnaire or 'test' to
assess your own preferred learning style or styles. Your learning style is also a reflection of the
type of person you are - how you perceive things and the way that you relate to the world.
This questionnaire helps you to improve your understanding of yourself and your strengths.
There are no right or wrong answers !
Scoring - select one statement that you think most reflects your style ,from each line and add the
total selections for each column. The totals will indicate your relative learning style preference.

Totals Visual auditory kinesthetic/physical
The total scores for each style indicate your relative preferred learning style or styles. There are no
right or wrong answers. Some people have very strong preferences, even to the extent that they
have little or no preference in one or two of the styles. Other people have more evenly balanced
preferences, with no particularly strong style. The point is simply to try to understand as much as
you can about yourself and your strengths (your preferred style or styles), and then make best use
of learning methods which suit your strengths (your preferred style or styles).
So what is your preferred style V or A or K
